"Old, teacher, please accept this!"


    "Um?"


    Looking at Huang Qianjiko, who was blushing and handing her an envelope, Duanmu Huai raised her eyebrows in confusion.


    "What''s this?"


    After taking the envelope handed by Huang Qianjiko, Duanmu Huai took a curious look. It would be too thick to say that this was a love letter. And this is the office, and although no one else is there, I am sending love letters here... Hahaha, I''m thinking too much.


    Duanmu Huai opened the envelope curiously, and then he saw postcards inside, which read like "Thank you for your guidance from the teacher, we will work harder!" "We will definitely win the national championship!"...


    "What''s this?"


    Seeing this, Duanmu Huai completely didn’t understand.


    "Uh... This is everyone''s thank you to your teacher..."


    Huang Qiankumiko also explained embarrassedly.


    "If it weren''t for the teacher, I''m afraid we wouldn''t even be able to pass the Kansai Competition. Everyone also thinks we should thank the teacher, but it''s not easy to say it out, so we wrote it down in this way..."


    "I don''t think it''s necessary to be so exaggerated..."


    Duanmuhuai scratched his head. To be honest, he was just doing his own job, but he didn''t expect these little girls to have this idea.


    "But thank you, of course, even so, I won''t show mercy to you. Winning the national championship is not an easy task, so you can just grit your teeth and endure it."


    “Ah hahahaha…”


    "So……"


    Duanmu Huai was about to chat with Huang Qianjiko, when he suddenly heard a noise outside the window. He stood up curiously and walked to the window and looked out. Then I saw a green hair in a suit and tie talking to the blonde girl in front of me at the gate of the school.


    The blonde girl is Aisia, and that green hair is...


    "Ah, it''s him again."


    At this moment, Huang Qianjiko also came over and said as she looked at the scene.


    "Huh? Have you seen it?"


    "Yes, uh... it''s a foreign gentleman. He appears every day after school and gives Aisia a lot of gifts and flowers. We have seen him several times..."


    “It’s probably spring has arrived.”


    Hearing this, Duanmu Huai snorted coldly, and his eyes became more and more unkind when he looked at the green hair.


    I really didn’t expect that this guy will come every day? He is not afraid of death, right?


    “Dongdongdongdongdongdong.”


    At this moment, the office door was suddenly knocked on, and the two turned their heads and saw the Tacheng kitten walking in.


    "Teacher, the minister has something to come to you."


    Speaking of this, the Tacheng kitten glanced at Huang Qianjiko.


    "It''s about club activities, I want to consult a teacher."


    "Okay, I get it."


    Duanmuhuai of course understood what the Tacheng Kitten means. Now there is only one club activity for Rias - that is the ranking competition. Of course, because Hwang Miko is not easy to say here, this is why she uses this statement.


    "Then... I''ll leave first, teacher."


    Seeing the Tacheng kitten appear, Huang Qianjiko hurriedly said goodbye and left, and Duanmu Huai also greeted her, and then followed the Tacheng kitten toward the direction of the Mystic Research Society.


    "So, who are we going to deal with next?"


    "The opponent in the next game has been confirmed, it is Diodora."


    "It''s that green peacock that has been open for thousands of years? Have you seen that guy burst into spring at the school gate?"


    “………”


    The Tacheng kitten nodded silently, while Duanmuhuai touched his chin.


    "Why not do this? I''ll kill him here, and we won without a fight in the next game...what do you think?"


    "I have no objection."


    I just don’t know if Rias has any objection.


    Soon, everyone gathered in the Mystic Research Society. After learning about the opponent in the next battle, everyone looked strange.


    "Is this a coincidence? Diodora is our next opponent, and then he is now pursuing Miss Isia?"


    Mary was the first to ask questions.


    "It''s just a coincidence?"


    Mio Narise has different opinions.


    "After all, according to senior Lias, the knockout round is a showdown against the winners. We are the first game and will only showdown against the winners of the second game. Is Diodora so sure that he can become the winner of the second ranking game?"


    “This may be possible.”


    However, unexpectedly, this time it was Lias herself who denied it. She looked serious and picked up a CD.


    "I have video of the second game here, you can tell if you look at it."


    As he spoke, Rias played the video of the second game, and everyone was also quite surprised when he looked at the video in front of him. In the second game, he fought against Diodora, another heir to the demon world, and he was also a very powerful person. However, this game does not require Zhiluo and duel like Rias''s first game before. To put it bluntly, Diodora, as the king, is unparalleled, and his family is only responsible for covering behind the scenes.


    “……I feel a bit like Mr. Duanmu’s fighting style.”


    "It''s not like it anymore. I''m not as weak as this little guy." Hearing Mary''s sigh, Duanmu Huai was immediately unhappy. How could I get together with the green peacock that has been in full bloom for thousands of years?


    "But one thing is strange, that is, Diodora shouldn''t have such a powerful force...at least he has never revealed it before."


    Rias finished the video and then spoke, while Akano Himejima frowned.


    "But even so, then what does it mean that he proposes to Miss Aesia? Miss Aesia is the representative of the fallen angel camp, and is not a relative of our Gimmonri? Even if Miss Aesia is willing to marry him, it will have no effect on us..."


    "Can you take a fancy to Miss Aisia''s artifact? After all, it is rare to be able to heal the demons. If you can earn it, the strength of the camp itself will also increase..."


    "The girl is back, meow~o(=∩ω∩=)m"


    Just as everyone was puzzled, the bell girl suddenly fell from the sky and landed behind Duanmu Huai, which scared everyone.


    "What''s wrong? Ling Girl? What happened?"


    Duanmu Huai turned his head and looked at the bell girl kneeling in front of him. The latter smiled and stretched out his hand and made a cat claw gesture.


    "Actually, it''s not a particularly important thing. I just want to remind you that the devil named Diodora just now took Miss Icea away."


    "…………take away?"


    "Strictly speaking...kidnapping? It is said that I want to take her to see something very important, then take her to a place where no one is, and then knock it out and take it away. This is kidnapping. "


    "………Well………"


    Hearing the bell girl’s answer, everyone present was speechless.


    "What the **** is Diodora thinking? The game will begin in a while?"


    Lias was also confused and couldn''t figure out what this was.


    "It has nothing to do with us."


    However, Duanmu Huai didn''t care at all.


    "But is it really okay? Mr. Duanmu?"


    "She saves people herself, and she is responsible for the things she provokes herself."


    Duanmuhuai scoffed at this.


    "Besides, isn''t the competition going to begin soon? What exactly does that green peacock want to do? Will you know when you enter the game and ask him?"


    Duanmu Huai really doesn''t care about Aixia''s situation. As he said, it was the demon that Aixia saved himself. Then no matter what happened, it was her own responsibility. If she hadn''t saved the demon at that time, there wouldn''t be so many things... Of course, Duanmu Huai felt that such a girl with a too kind Virgin attribute would not make sense, so she had to experience the realistic beating.


    "Okay, let''s prepare for the competition."


    At the same time, the teleportation array also appeared in the center of the Mystic Research Society. Seeing this, everyone had to calm down their inner questions and stepped into the teleportation array.


    Unlike before, this ranking match map is a temple. After coming to the battle space through teleportation array, Duanmu Huai and others are ready to start the battle.


    However, unlike before, this time, everyone waited for a long time and did not hear the notice of the start of the battle.


    "What''s the situation? It''s almost ten minutes long, right?"


    Duanmu Huai looked at the expression, and the others also showed confusion. After all, not only did there not only was there no host announcing the start of the competition, but there were no rules... Is this really a ranking competition?


    “————!”


    Just as everyone was puzzled, suddenly, countless teleportation arrays unfolded around them, and then, demons appeared from them and surrounded them.


    “You are…!”


    Seeing these demons, Rias suddenly became nervous.


    "What''s wrong?"


    "They are all nobles who are loyal to the Old Demon Sect! How could they appear here?"


    The Old Demon Sect... Oh, it seems like there is such a thing.


    Duanmuhuai only remembered that Michael and the others had said that there were existences within the three camps who had died and disappeared. Obviously, the same is true for this old devil sect?


    Sure enough, at this moment, one of the people who looked like the leader also roared.


    "Hateful blood relatives of the fake demon king, Jimuri, you will die here! There is also the Inquisition, we will avenge Belfiego and stop you from hunting the unsuccessful gods! The return of the gods and the demon king cannot be stopped! Stupid humans, pay the price for what you do!"


    Although the other party shouted loudly, for Duanmu Huai...


    “Belfigo?”


    Duanmu Huai scratched his head in confusion, with questions all over his head, and Wanliya coughed awkwardly.


    "Mr. Duanmu, you forgot that when Lord Mio and I returned to the Demon Realm, we attacked Wilbert''s leader..."


    "Oh, it seems that there is something happening, because I forgot even if I don''t care."


    "Shut up! You butcher!"


    Hearing Duanmu Huai''s completely indifferent appearance, the other party''s demon became more and more angry.


    "You have massacred the entire people of Belfigo. I want to avenge my family! Go and die!"


    Before he finished speaking, the demons rushed forward and rushed towards the people in front of him!


    Immediately afterwards—a whistling sound!


    “Boom!”


    The sweeping hammer brought out a wave of air and lightning that was comparable to a hurricane, ruthlessly tearing the demons who dared to rush forward, completely smashing them into pieces. For a moment, **** wind and blood, the remaining limbs scattered, and Duanmu Huai, who walked out of it, raised his head at this moment, with a red light in his helmet.


    "In other words, this time it''s not a family game? To be honest, I''m a little tired of it, but that''s good..."


    Duanmu Huai raised the hammer with a grim smile and waved forward.


    "Scream and wail, confess your stupidity in the face of the anger and strength of the Inquisition, and die in pain!"
